What's new in Sentis 1.1

This is a summary of the changes from Sentis 1.0 to Sentis 1.1.

Added

  • GPUPixel backend now supports TensorInts and many more operators.
  • Models can now be exported to StreamingAssets.
  • Interface for asynchronous readback of GPU tensors with callback.
  • Ops utility methods for float mathematics and getting and setting slices of tensors.

Updated

  • Improved compatibility for many operators including Conv, ConvTranspose and BatchNormalization.
  • Improved performance of many operators on GPUCompute and GPUCommandBuffer backends.
  • Reduced allocation when executing worker.
  • Improved import times.
  • Improved shape and data type inference to optimize models better.
  • Inference accuracy fixes.

What's new in Sentis 1.0

Sentis is the new name for the Barracuda package.

This is a summary of the changes from Barracuda 3.0 to Sentis 1.0.

For information on how to upgrade, refer to the Upgrade Guide.

Added

  • You can now override model layers in your code, and add your own layers. Refer to the CustomLayer example in the sample scripts for an example.

Updated

  • All the back end types have been optimized and improved so Sentis as a whole has better performance on both the GPU and the CPU.
  • The way Sentis represents tensors has changed to make Sentis compatible with more models, and make it easier to convert Python preprocessing code into C#. Refer to Tensor fundamentals and Do operations on tensors for more information.
  • Sentis supports more Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX) operators. Refer to Supported ONNX operators for more information.
  • You can now import models larger than 2 gigabytes.
  • The Model Asset Import Settings window no longer contain contains Force Arbitrary Batch Size and Treat Errors as Warnings settings. The window also no longer contains an Open imported NN model as temp file button. Use Open instead.
